Ben was good at controlling himself and was a master at not betraying his emotions. And when he was filled with rage, he would be still smiling.
However, those who knew him well all understood that he was actually not happy. As a matter of fact, he was now dangerous and aggressive.
That was true.
At the moment, he was still smiling, but Claudia had already felt his anger. She was scared a lot.
Before Mr. Hunt could figure out what to do, Ben tonelessly said a few words with a faint smile. However, in the next second, he lifted his leg and violently gave Mr. Hunt a kick.
Mr. Hunt did not expect that Ben would attack him. He was unprepared. As a result, he fell heavily face down on the ground.
Seeing that, Ben did not even bat an eyelid. He just went on saying, "Even if I'm going to divorce her, you're not eligible to touch her!"
After he finished speaking, Claudia was very sad. She unconsciously raised her head and happened to look at Ben's cold eyes.
Suddenly, Claudia saw Ben reach out his slender and fair hand. After taking a look at it, in her memory rang the words of him just now. She thought, ‘ It seemed that he really wanted to divorce me!’
Her heart was breaking, but she managed not to show it. She tried to get up from the ground. However, before she did it, Ben directly yanked her to her feet.
Before Claudia regained her footing, she was pulled by Ben and then was held in his arms. Being embraced by him, she couldn't help holding her breath. And her heart was thumping.
Mr. Hunt awkwardly got up from the ground and glared angrily at Ben, "What do you mean? Aren't you going to divorce her? Since you're going to divorce her, you're not eligible to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ben interrupted him by saying slowly and clearly in a cold voice.
"As long as we're not divorced, she's my wife!"
"You..." Mr. Hunt looked at him in embarrassment. He was so annoyed that he gasped.
But Ben did not look at him. Instead, he lowered his head and took a look at Claudia. When he glanced at Mr. Hunt, his eyes were still cold, "Even if we're really divorced, she's my ex-wife. In that case, it's still my responsibility to take care of her!"
"..."
Mr. Hunt was completely speechless!
Ben was just such a high-achieving and willful man. He was extremely powerful and influential. Besides, he had a clear and logical mind. If he really would like to commit any outrages one day, there would be few people who could stop him.
Or, in other words, no one dared stop him!
This was all because of his business strength and power.
Mr. Hunt was so angry that there were bulged veins on his forehead, but he had to contain it. He said, "I'm sorry. I'll go to your house and make a formal apology later."
He was already a senior citizen. If it wasn't for Ben, he would not say something like that. And saying those words meant that he had admitted that he was wrong. He took his coat and was about to leave, but Ben stopped him.
"That's all?"
Mr. Hunt was frightened by his words, which is short but oppressive.
He paused, turned around and asked, "Then, what do you want me to do?"
Ben stared at him with a slight smile and did not speak. At the same time, a person came in quickly.
It was Nate. He looked at Ben and Claudia, and then nodded at them. After that, he directly came to Mr. Hunt, looking fiercely.
Claudia couldn't help being nervous. She hurriedly raised her hands and explained, "Let him off! His wife has passed away, and he just did that because he missed her. Moreover, he didn't do anything to me!"
